Subject: [PATCH] clk: allow clocks without parents to change rate

The clk_change_rate() code would dereference clk->parent
to get clk->parent->rate without first checking that clk->parent
was valid. This doesn't work if the clock is (A) a root clock
and (B) can change rate. Such is the case with a VCO clock
like the ICST which consequently crash like this without
this patch:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001c
pgd = c0004000
[0000001c] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT ARM
